Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When inspecting this vehicle, prioritize verifying the service history for the 1.5L diesel engine to ensure oil changes have been performed at regular intervals. Specifically, check for invoices or records confirming that the front brake discs and pads were replaced following the advisories noted in August 2024, as the subsequent 2025 clean pass suggests this work was completed.
Negotiations should be based on the vehicle's mileage, which is slightly higher than the model average. Ensure you check the condition of the diesel particulate filter (DPF) if the car has been used primarily for short urban journeys, as this is a common consideration for diesel vehicles of this age.
The 1461cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, offering competitive fuel economy for a vehicle of this size. Running costs will be influenced by its insurance group and the standard road tax band for 2016 diesel emissions.
Typical maintenance for the Qashqai includes regular tyre replacements and brake servicing, both of which are common requirements for this model. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,300-£1,700.
Focus your inspection on the braking system; while the 2025 MOT recorded no defects, the 2024 record highlighted worn, pitted, and scored front brake discs. Confirm the current condition of the discs to ensure they are smooth and free of corrosion.
Additionally, check the tyres and headlamps, as these are identified in aggregate data as the top failure reasons for the Qashqai model. Finally, inspect the blue exterior paintwork for any age-related wear or clear-coat failure common to vehicles of this vintage.
This blue 2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5 diesel has recorded 95,935 miles as of its most recent test. The MOT history is notably clean, with four out of five tests returning no defects and only one instance of minor brake advisories in 2024. It presents as a stable example of a model with a 79.5% aggregate pass rate.
The Qashqai has an average MOT pass rate of 79.5%, with brake pads being one of the most frequent causes of failure across the model range.
